Luzia

Pinot Noir Alto Adige DOC

THE LUMINOUS ONE

The Romans themselves knew how to make use of the particularly fertile soil around the village of St. Pauls, not to mention the light and the downwinds that characterise this location: Luzia is a luminous, deep Blauburgunder (Pinot Nero) that pays homage to the Roman villa whose remains still stand above the Luzia vines today.
